Replaced my '60 BN7 master cylinder a couple of months ago with a standard 5/8" bore type as used on the Series 1 cars without servo. I also switched to NAPA Dot 4. Even though I bled the system thoroughly, I had maybe 2" of pedal travel before I got braking, the pedal firm at that point. The other day a front wheel cylinder failed, so I purchased rebuild kits and new pistons (the ones in the car had a chrome look and corrosion rings with some pitting about where the inner rubber seals contacts them). Since I had a lot of previous recommendations that I replace the rubber hoses with the stainless steel mesh type, I bought the set from Moss and installed them, front and back, along with the new pistons and rebuild kits. However, I still have the same long pedal travel before getting my hard pedal, and that distracts from any benefit I might have had from the new brake hoses. I'm considering buying the 7/8" bore master cylinder specified as being for cars with servos thinking that the larger diameter will move more fluid and eliminate the long pedal throw. I own a complete servo kit that I have been reluctant to install until I am satisfied with the function of the system without the added complexity. I might add that I recall the pedal travel as being shorter before I began this process, which was occasioned by the large amount of crud in the brake fluid. It comes out crystal clear now, and I have put a lot of it through the system. Thoughts?
